Oops. Misattributed, misidentified photo. Turns out this is really from the Atacama Desert in South America. Point still stands, but I got hoaxed on the identification of the photo.

Even just in cracks in the desert clay.

Hmmm. Too far south, too dry an area for me to recognize the species right off the bat. Anyone got suggestions?
